The Order members are given the task of identifying the culprit behind the murder of several hitmen.
The plot has already started to thicken in the latest episode of the popular action anime Sakamoto Days. After taking care of Boiled and Obiguro, Sakamoto is reprimanded by his wife after she discovers the bounty on her husband’s head. Order members Hyo, Shishiba, Osaragi, and Nagumo are given the task of finding out the people who are indiscriminately killing assassins from JAA. When Sakamoto, Shin, and Lu reach the Dondenkai headquarters building, they find Nagumo standing in a room full of dead assassins.

The episode begins with a drunk Lu fighting against Obiguro, whose men are holding Shin hostage. We see that Lu is at once a sad, happy, and angry drunk and her mood changes pretty quickly. Obiguro can’t keep up with her skills, which excites her. In the end, Lu suddenly sobers up and Obiguro says that she would like to fight against her someday again and lets everyone go. Shin brings Lu, Hana, and Aoi outside the haunted house. Elsewhere in the theme park, Sakamoto, who is now thin, starts fighting Boiled. The ex-hitman easily evades all attacks from his former classmate. The two then end up in a booth in a Ferris wheel and Boiled finally admits defeat after being thoroughly beaten by Sakamoto.
While they’re talking, Shin finds them and starts taking pictures of Sakamoto who looks how he used to look before. As they start talking about the bounty on Sakamoto’s head, Hana finds them and demands to know what’s happening. After they come clean about the bounty put on Sakamoto by the JAA, she reminds him about the family rule of never hiding anything from them. After Boiled and Obiguro leave, the Sakamoto family return to their home. The next day, we see that Sakamoto has turned fat again. He takes Shin and Lu to a DVD store, which is apparently used by assassins to gather intel.
Nagumo tells Sakamoto about Slur

Sakamoto rents a DVD about Dondenkai, the organisation which sent Boiled and Obiguro to kill him. After watching the movie, they learn a lot about their headquarters and the boss. Elsewhere, we see Nagumo sitting at a table with two men and a woman. Their names are Hyo, Shishiba, and Osaragi, and we learn that they’re also Order members like Nagumo. An old man tells the four about how someone is indiscriminately slaughtering JAA assassins and that they need to put a stop to it. We learn that there are four more members in the Order including someone named Takamura. However, most of them don’t attend meetings.
Later, Sakamoto, Shin, and Lu enter the Dondenkai building and after making some of the hitmen unconscious, finally find the room where the boss is. Shin is apprehensive as he can’t read anyone’s mind around him. As they open the door, they see that all the men in the room have been killed and Nagumo is standing over them. The assassin attacks Shin and prepares to kill him, but it turns out he is only trying to scare them with a toy knife. After that, he tells Sakamoto that someone, likely a gang, has killed over 100 assassins affiliated with JAA in the last few weeks. Nagumo came here to investigate it but found everyone dead in the room.
Much like the other murder cases, the room also had a massive X made with blood on the wall. That’s why the nameless organisation is being called X or Slur. He also says that this murder spree started after Sakamoto’s bounty was announced and that they also need to be careful. He mentions that the Order has been tasked with dealing with the murderers. Shin asks what the Order is and Nagumo tells him that it’s an elite task force within the JAA who kill particularly dangerous or rogue assassins. He mentions that Sakamoto himself used to be a part of the Order. The scene changes to an unknown building where a man is seen drawing a massive red X on the wall amidst many dead bodies. The next morning, many assassins try to attack the Sakamoto store and most of them are taken care of by Shin and Lu.
